May 14, 2015 - Rep. Luis Gutiérrez called out his Republican colleagues for capitulating to yet another anti-immigrant effort to strip two mere studies of allowing DACA recipients to serve in the military from the annual National Defense Authorization Act. The Congressman reflected that the continuing demands from the nativist wing of the party reminded him of the children's story, "If you give a mouse a cookie," where no matter what the Speaker and leaders give the anti-immigrant fringes, they come back with a new and bigger request.
